Alyse & Heart of Austin Homes Team is #1!! She helped me get my first home in Austin while I was still living in Florida. She looked at homes and made videos of the homes so I can see them from out of state, and was very thorough and helpful in her feedback… - I do believe my home purchase couldn't have been as smooth as it was without Alyse!”

"John and Alyse were so extraordinarily helpful and went well beyond what would normally be expected of a real estate agent. They offer so much more.

I had to move out of town to change jobs with less than a months’ notice, and between finishing my job, starting a new one, finding a new place to live in another city, and actually moving, I was truly overwhelmed. John and Alyse came in and provided me multiple options. I chose to hand my keys over to them and let them do what they felt was best to get the top dollar for my house.

They worked as contractor, designer, real estate agent, and hand-holder (for me). They had the house cleaned out, put new flooring in, new counter tops, painted, etc. they had the place cleaned, staged, and professionally photographed. Most importantly, they kept me well informed throughout the entire process and made sure to get my approval at each step. They even put up with my overly stressed temperament with such ease and poise. As with all things there were unexpected occurrences along the way, and they easily adapted and made things right.

When it came time to sell, John suggested listing below what I was thinking, but I trusted his judgement and it paid off in spades. The house sold for well above what my expected high-end was. I couldn’t have been more pleased.

From start to finish, John and Alyse were professional, organized, thoughtful, friendly, knowledgeable, and effective. The communication between us was remarkable despite being located in two different cities.

I have never written a review for anyone, but I felt compelled to rave about them for all of their hard work. If you need a realtor in the Austin area, you can’t do better to than John and Alyse."

“Alyse is phenomenal. She alone made us feel confident in approaching the big life event of owning our first home. She knows the areas, the breakdown of what makes a house cost what it does, and how best to represent your needs and fight for them in the buying process. Above and beyond that, she is such an encouraging and lovely person. (She still emails us to see how we're doing and invites us to gatherings and holiday events). There are so many choices when buying or selling a home, Alyse is the best first choice to make.”

​“I wouldn't dare go anywhere else. Alyse handled our move from West Texas to Hutto. She helped us get into a comfortable leased home on short notice then stuck around through the entire process and got us into our dream home in Hutto. She was always on top of things, gave open ideas and was the EXPERT in handling our purchase from beginning to end. Being a first time home buyer, she put to rest any myths of troubles when buying a home. Love being a new home owner, definitely made better by Alyse and Heart of Austin Homes.”

“John and Alyse have amazing attention to detail, coupled with passion and armed with data, they pack a powerful punch as a team. Our experience required them to be patient and attentive. Our needs changed a couple of times and required a great deal of patience on their part, we never saw them flinch or sweat and at every pivot, they held on and went above and beyond the average expectations. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home.”

"They did an outstanding job the whole time. My husband and I have bought and sold several homes in Austin and this is the first time I would use the same agents again in the future… If you are looking for an agent, this is the team you want!"

​We came to John and Alyse with a home that had been on the market for several months.
They took over our sales listing and they not only had our home under contract the first weekend but it closed in two weeks!!
The final sales price was over our asking price and the transaction was smooth as silk.
I would not hesitate to use them again. They were incredibly attentive and I fully trusted their ability to sell our home for us.
I have never worked with a real estate team that was as on top of their game as they are. Give them a call, you will be so pleased!!!

long after we signed the contract."

"John and Alyse helped me find a home in Austin's red-hot market where being able to react quickly can be important. In a matter of days, they helped me narrow down my list of favorites and make an offer that was accepted. They even traveled to one property I was interested in and made a video of it to save me having to go there if it wasn't for me. They guided me expertly through all the local procedures and answered all my questions cheerfully. John and Alyse are two of the warmest and most friendly people I've ever met, in addition to being at the top of their game in real estate. Highly recommend!"

"She invited us into a home she was doing an open house for and, while that home wasn't for us, we definitely knew we had found our realtor. We also had no idea what we wanted and changed our wants on her constantly, and she always came through with a smile and amazing energy. Without Alyse, we would not have found the home we're in love with today!"
